Media Indigena : Weekly Indigenous Current Affairs Program

On this week’s collected, connected conversations (the third in our summer series), the arts take centre stage. A stage so wide, it’ll take two acts to cover it all. For our first act, we look at representation and misrepresentation, be it on-screen, on stage, or on the page. From gatekeepers to white fragility, it ain’t easy trying to be Indigenous in this industry. Featured voices this podcast include (in order of appearance): • Cutcha Risling Baldy, Assistant Professor and Department Chair of Native American Studies at Humboldt State University. • Candis Callison, Associate Professor at UBC's Graduate School of Journalism • Kim TallBear, Associate Professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta • Brock Pitawanakwat, York University Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies • Ken Williams, University of Alberta Assistant Professor of Drama • Taté Walker, Lakota activist and communications professional • Jessica Ka'nhehsí:io Deer, a Kanien'kehá:ka journalist at CBC Indigenous // CREDITS: Thi
